I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Simmons & Simmons (Hong Kong) in Mar 2021
Interview
Written tests assess knowledge through structured questions that gauge understanding of specific subjects. Online tests provide flexibility and convenience, allowing participants to complete assessments at their own pace and from anywhere. Interviews offer personal interaction, enabling evaluators to explore candidates' skills, experiences, and cultural fit within the organization, fostering a deeper connection and understanding. Each method serves a unique purpose in the evaluation process, contributing to a comprehensive assessment of candidates.

I interviewed at Simmons & Simmons (Bristol, Inglaterra)
Interview
Very enjoyable experience, learnt a lot about how a law firm operate and recruit. The process was very straightforward and gave me helpful feedback and insight for future applications. The people who interviewed me were very friendly yet professional and helpful.
Interview process is challenging with a combination of SJT, logical reasoning, data analysis and recorded interview questions (record once for two minutes.) The Job sim took just over an hour.
